Guns Lead To More Crime

Enough of this "good guys with guns will stop bad guys with guns" nonsense. Research-based evidence conducted by a Stanford law professor shows that where there are "right to carry" laws there is an increase in violent crime, especially aggravated assaults.

Of course, we know that the current administration eschews research-based evidence (on climate change, health care coverage and tax policy implications), so it's unlikely that anything will change after the latest in a nonstop series of all-too-familiar gun-related violent events.

And if the president really believed that mental illness is the real issue here, why did he rescind Obama limitations on gun sales to some people with a history of mental illness and continue to attempt to gut health care access to mental health treatment? Mental illness "at the highest level" indeed.
